"Windows 7 - frendly OS"
What do you like best about Windows 7?

What I liked most about Windows 7 was its clean and simple interface. Everything felt well-organized, and I didn’t need any training to start using it. The Start menu and search were fast and helpful — I could find anything quickly. It was also a stable system; I hardly ever needed to reinstall it. Most drivers worked automatically, which made setup really easy. Overall, it was a reliable OS without any unnecessary extras. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 7?

Windows 7 was good overall, but sometimes software compatibility was an issue. Updates could slow the system down or cause glitches. Also, towards the end, it didn’t support some newer hardware well, so I had to install drivers manually. File transfers were a bit slow too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Classic, Reliable, but Outdated — Not Recommended Today"
What do you like best about Windows 7?

What I liked best about Windows 7 was its simplicity, stability, and performance. It had a clean, straightforward interface that was easy to navigate without feeling bloated. The OS was lightweight and responsive, especially on older hardware, and it rarely got in the way of what you were trying to do.

It also had great compatibility with software and games at the time, and it gave users more control over settings compared to newer versions. It struck a perfect balance between user-friendliness and power-user features, which made it a favorite for many.

Even though it's outdated now, it was a rock-solid OS in its prime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 7?

What I dislike about Windows 7 today is that it's no longer supported — no security updates, no new drivers, and no compatibility with modern apps or hardware. That makes it risky and inconvenient to use, especially if you're online or using newer tech.

Even before support ended, Windows 7 lacked many modern features we now take for granted in Windows 10 or 11, like built-in virtual desktops, better HDR support, improved security features, and native support for newer hardware like NVMe drives or TPM 2.0.

In short, while it was great in its time, it’s now outdated, insecure, and impractical for current-day use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy os ever seen"
What do you like best about Windows 7?

Windows 7 also uses more RAM compared to Windows 10, which makes the latter better in this respect. In general, new games run faster on Windows 10, even though the difference seems rather minimal. When it comes to older games, Windows 7 might be a better choice thanks to better legacy software support.5 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 7?

The main dislike about Windows 7 is that it is no longer officially supported by Microsoft, meaning it receives no security updates, making it highly vulnerable to malware and viruses, especially since its extended support ended in January 2020; this is a major concern for users who still rely on it on older machines Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Legacy OS"
What do you like best about Windows 7?

Windows 7 is familiar and easy to use for many, as it was widely adopted upon release. With a clean user interface and fast operations, it was an impressive upgrade from it’s predecessors Vista and XP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows 7?

Windows 7 is now an outdated OS, meaning that it no longer receives updates and only has minimal support availability. On a closed system with consistent operations, this is not an issue, however on systems that are connected to the Internet or engaged in complex operations, the continued use of Windows 7 proves problematic. The risk of cybersecurity breaches and software system failure, push the need for OS upgrade from Windows 7. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
